Like stock setup?Saturdays Wrench said:Hey guys,
I really needed some advice and thought I would reach out here. Can someone give me a quick guide to wiring up the bike so I can fire up this engine before I get too much further? What do I need exactly to run the engine and go through a few gears? Mostly I am looking for the electrical part of this equation. I really just want to get to the point where I set a few wires up to the battery, the throttle, carbs, coils, fuel, etc.. And fire it up, rev it, laugh like Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor and piss my mum off to the point where she comes into the garage swearing in her Scottish accent and waving a broom at me.
I've been working on installing the front forks, swing arm and front controls but had to order a few copper washers here and there and am replacing my zerk fittings with a modern pair on the swing arm bolt. Things are heating up and I am getting really excited about this bike being completed! I need to get on the tank design ASAP and have the seat upholstered and do some rear shock measurements before I order a pair.
Oh! Another question. I have all the parts for my 520 chain conversion but the rear sprocket I bought did not come with mounting bolts. Am I to use the old mounting bolts from the stock sprocket? Are those even removable?
Thanks as always.

You won't be sorry you went for the Barnett clutch set up I use them and it makes all the difference , the pull in the lever feels a bit tougher but a good upgrade keep it up mate 8)
redwillissuperman said:Part of the Cdn keyboard option. But does come with downsides- all the keys are sticky with Maple Syrup, autocorrect always suggests "John A. MacDonald" and you only get 74 words for every 100 you type.
But every time you write "beanie" it changes it to "toque"
DrJ said:You didn't show a pic of the other side of the front axle where the nut is. BTW the axle nut goes in shoulder first, there are no threads at the shoulder and it recesses past the threads on the axle and snuggles down on the hub. As for the rear sprocket, the thickness of the sprocket at the inside should be the same as a 530, usually only the teeth are machined down to 520 thickness. You can see that in the photo of my 520 set.
